Overview

• At the Love in Vietnam trailer launch in Mumbai on August 25, Kaur replied to a question about celebrity attention with, “Milta rahe pyaar, bas.”
• Months earlier, users spotted a brief ‘like’ from Kohli on a photo of Kaur in a lime green crop top and printed mini skirt before it was removed.
• Kohli later posted an Instagram Story saying the platform’s algorithm mistakenly registered the interaction and urged people not to assume intent.
• Subsequent coverage reports Kaur gained over 1 million followers, signed about 12 endorsement deals, and saw an estimated 30% rise in brand value.
• The flare-up has largely cooled, with Kaur’s remark serving as her first on-record response and Anushka Sharma offering no public comment.
